On January 1, 1519, Ulrich Zwingli delivered his first sermon in Zürich. He spoke out against moral corruption, accused monks of laziness and indulgence, rejected the veneration of saints, asserted that unbaptized children were not damned, and questioned the power of excommunication. His most controversial belief was that tithing was not an obligation. Zwingli believed that the Reformation should be directed by the churches rather than the government, as the goals of the Reformation aimed to end the alliance between the Catholic Church and the state. (THIS VIDEO IS INCORREDT Anabaptism in Switzerland began as an offshoot of the church reforms instigated by Ulrich Zwingli.) Today, his descendants are spread across 57 countries, within 21 distinct groups, including Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterites.
